Identity Theft Among The Homeless
KENTUCKY...
Louisville Metro Police have arrested a Florida man they say was targeting homeless people for identity theft. Police arrested 30-year-old Antonio Philips. They believe he was paying homeless people $5 to tell him their names, dates of birth and social security numbers. Police believe Philips also promised victims they would receive a $50 stimulus check from the federal government. Police say they found more than $500 in $5 bills, weapons, and a list of homeless shelters and mealtimes in Philips' car. He is charged with trafficking in stolen identities and carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
